Does anyone know of the existence of a utility that can take a .tfm
file and derive metafont source from it? The reason I'm asking is this:
UF has just Laid Down The Law about any and all official publications, to
wit: all text MUST, unless utterly unavoidable, be in the Palatino font.
I recently found a decent pd Palatino derivative in a Type 1 font for our
Pagemaker person, but I write all our tech docs and correspondence in LaTeX,
and have been unable to find a Palatino font. I've heard that Pandora is
supposed to be a poor rendition, but am looking for something better. (And
to head off the obvious question, I don't have dvips and was not looking
forward to having to get it, as I'd *then* have to implement Ghostscript,
and even 160mb of hard disk only goes so far! :-) )
